Why are you still using Windows 7

[Sabuni]

The military can afford to pay for Patches from MS, while:

1. You are not military
2. You are broke and cannot afford the monthly payments MS charges
3. The cost of those monthly charges are worth 2 licenses of Windows 10 Pro
4. You don't have the technical skill of the military to use on your own to spot malware and harden your system

unless that computer is completely isolated from the internet or from other humans and external storage peripherals, you are at a very high risk of being attacked

Oh
5. The US Military no longer uses XP

You mis-understood. I said I use Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu on my comps
But I meant; parts of the american Military still use "outdated" versions of windows.

Why does the US military still use Windows XP, when there are better versions available?

Answer (1 of 7): Ridiculous right? The problem though is the military is gigantic. They need everything to try to be the same where possible so things work with eachother. Many of our most fearsome weapons still have 80s processors in them - some parts are so core to a design they cant be easil...

Why the Military Can’t Quit Windows XP

For the military, upgrading operating systems isn’t just a hassle: It’s a matter of life and death.

LOL, having a different opinion than wewe ni kukufukuza? How fragile is your ego?

Still on Windows 7 coz Win 10 has had many issues with their poorly designed updates...

Let's cross the bridge when we get there.
I have some POS software that works on XP only. I don't have the money to buy an alternative software running on Win10, and migrate the data there. So I will hold on until... Sijui.

Try ReactOS (https://reactos.org/)

Windows 7 support ending on Tuesday meant that even Security updates ended

They will be there but you will have to pay

They will be there but you will have to pay

How much as compared to buying W10?
